not a fan! | various!naruto x female!reader

prologue

Konoha's only album - Hidden Leaf - was infuriatingly popular among the current generations. With a discography of thirteen doleful songs and a hastily put together, rather awkward album introduction, Konoha's popularity was something of an enigma. They were nothing more than a ragtag collection of four basement-lurking teens who were lucky enough to have a miscellaneous collection of recording equipment at their disposal. It was this very fact that angered [Y/N] [L/N] to her very core.

Of course, not a soul truly knew about her deep-set hatred for the band. To say that she was absolutely terrified of every existing Konoha fan was an understatement. Konoha's more outspoken fans were notoriously toxic on the popular social media app Chatter, and never failed to send an onslaught of cancel-culture-minded fans to tear a reputation into shreds. [Y/N] had quite the Chatter following, what with her entire account dedicated to the TuneCloud rapper-turned-social-media-mogul Kazekage, and couldn't afford to lose her status to virulent pop fans.

To add to the fury of the Konoha leaflets (as the fans dubbed themselves), the band had just recently announced their first ever tour dates, and somehow [Y/N]'s phone was spitting notification after notification about it at her. For all she wished she could mute the damn Chatter app, she knew that she was expected to post about Kazekage's album drop that was coming in just a few hours. For obvious reasons, Konoha's lording over all aspects of social media added fire to the flame. Kazekage deserved the entire world - how dare Konoha rip that away from him?

Deep down, [Y/N] knew that Kazekage wasn't at Konoha's level of stardom, and was even further from gracing the ears of the fans they claimed. She considered him a treasure, though, and settled on sharing her love of him with her Chatter followers.

[Y/N] had been designing a streaming party banner on her phone for the past few hours. Far from having any graphic design talent, the teen was leaning heavily on her past experience of fandom photo edits and the regular Kazekage fan page post. She felt quite confident about it, though, going for simplicity rather than aesthetic. The large Dotify logo got the point across well, and she knew that her few truly loyal followers would join her in racking up Kazekage's streams.

As she mindlessly decided to scroll through her feed, she came across a local Konoha fan page. [Y/N] pursed her lips in thought, and after a moment decided to open the page to scour around the account. Something about inspecting the enemy, finding flaws, filled her mind as she justified her reasoning to no one but herself. She swiped through, but something caught her eye.

A bright green, gaudy picture glared back at her from her phone screen. Across the top read "KONOHA MEET AND GREET FOR ONE LUCKY FAN!" [Y/N] scoffed at the apparent absurdity and, without quite finishing the post or thinking critically, re-chatted it onto her account with a caption along the lines of how shallow she believed the band to be. 

She slept peacefully that night, blissfully unaware that in the morning, hell on earth would be calling her name.
